'''Andy Serkis''' is an English actor. He portrayed [[Gollum]] in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'']] and [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]], as well as providing voices for various characters in ''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series). He was the second unit director for ''The Hobbit'' (film series). In [[2020]], he narrated ''[[The Hobbit]]'' audiobook,<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/andy-serkis-records-audiobook-hobbit-harpercollins-1208925|articlename=Andy Serkis records audiobook of The Hobbit for HarperCollins|dated=July 2, 2020|website=[http://www.thebookseller.com/ The Bookseller]|accessed=}}</ref> and followed this up with an audiobook narration of all three volumes of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' in [[2021]].<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/andy-serkis-records-lord-rings-audiobooks-harpercollins-1267526|articlename=Andy Serkis records Lord of the Rings audiobooks for HarperCollins|dated=July 7, 2021|website=[http://www.thebookseller.com/ The Bookseller]|accessed=}}</ref> Since 2002, he has been married to actress [[Lorraine Ashbourne]], and together they have three children.

==Gollum==
When he heard from his agent that [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399193/ John Hubbard] wanted to hear him as the voice of an animated character, Serkis originally felt dismayed. When told it was Gollum, it changed little: he had read ''[[The Hobbit]]'' when he was eight, but nothing else. Not until his (later) wife Lorraine convinced him to go to the audition did he actually think of doing it.

He recorded a demo, in which he portrayed Gollum full of self-pity and guilt, and he based the gulping swallow sound "gollum" on his cat Diz coughing up a furball.

At the advice of [[Fran Walsh]], he kept a diary, and this diary was later edited to become ''[[Gollum: How We Made Movie Magic]]''. It details his casting, the shooting, the additional motion capture, and the voice dubbing pick-ups.

Serkis spent a total of five years in [[New Zealand]], and did extra work later in London. He dubbed most of his lines as Gollum there, and also provided an eerie voice for the [[Witch-king]] of [[Angmar]]. Together with [[Jim Dunk]], he also voiced most of the [[Uruk-hai]] in [[Uglúk]]'s troop.

Rakotino: The article stated that "The Lord of The Rings" are 3 books which is not true. So I edited this so that the article instead correctly says that Andy Serkis narrated the 3 novels of "The Lord of The Rings".
